You must satisfy the requirements of IPFW (see Part 8) and the Richard T. Doermer School of Business and Management Sciences (listed in this section) and earn a minimum of 63 credits in courses in (1) general education and (2) general business and economics. The final 15 consecutive credits required for this degree should be completed after you have been admitted to the A.S. program.

To remain in the program and graduate, you must earn a grade of C or better in all ENG writing courses and all business and economics courses, and maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better. Business and economics courses completed by correspondence are not applicable.
